- Needlepoint: Outside The Screen
(2012, cd, --, bjk music)
If you have a weak spot for the warm, sun-drenched whimsy of late-60s Canterbury prog or the looser, exploratory boundaries of psychedelic jazz fusion, then Norway’s Needlepoint needs to be on your radar immediately.
It has been a couple of years since I've listened to Needlepoint, and it was lovely to rediscover them.
Released on the BJK Music label, this record feels less like a modern product and more like a long-lost tape found tucked away in a 1971 recording studio cupboard. It strikes a perfect balance between highly structured, melodic pieces and fluid, free-flowing instrumental jams.
